| name | download-al-symbols |
| description | Downloads exact Business Central symbol packages for a temporary AL reproduction project through the installed prerelease ALTool. Use before compiling any project whose app.json references platform, application, or dependency packages. |
| argument-hint | <project-folder> |
Run the deterministic wrapper:
& .\.github\skills\download-al-symbols\Invoke-DownloadAlSymbols.ps1 `
-ProjectPath <project-folder>
The wrapper uses only the prerelease ALTool installed by the workflow at ALTOOL_PATH. It invokes
ALTool's symbol-download capability non-interactively with the sandbox connection, tenant, and
credentials provided by the workflow, writes packages to <project>\.alpackages, and fails unless
at least one package is present.
For symbol download, do not invoke alc.exe, launch or script an MCP server yourself, or call
/dev/packages directly. Use run-al-mcp-tool separately when the issue itself concerns an MCP
tool. After the wrapper succeeds, compile through ALTool and pass the populated .alpackages path.
